Posted: 9:43 AM- BOSTON - A Delta Air Lines flight from Massachusetts to Salt Lake City was evacuated after a sticker referring to 9/11 was found.

2News reports the incident occurred on Wednesday after a flight attendant found a sticker in the plane's lavatory and on a tray table that read, "9/11 was an inside job!" The words were followed by the web address for Prison Planet.com.

Authorities say Jason Robo, a college student from California, boarded the flight at Logan International Airport in Boston, affixed the sticker -- and then ran off.

The entire plane was evacuated and its takeoff was delayed about three hours, officials said.

Thursday, Robo, 26, was charged with disorderly conduct and interfering with aircraft operation. He claimed it was all a joke.
